I tried again to compile the nvidia latest official package. It failed. Here are the major errors from the installer log.

Code:

-> The CC version check failed:

The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.4) does not exactly match the
current compiler (gcc 4.2). The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects
kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match
that of the compiler used to build the running kernel.

-> Kernel module compilation complete.
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most
frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or
improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs
from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as
rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from
obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or NVIDIA GPU
installed in this system is not supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics
driver release.

I first add the puppy 508 kernel configuration. Second ran "make prepare" and then ran nividia installer package. Any thoughts would be appreciated. However, Fluppy 003 nv driver does work._________________Enjoy life, Just Greg

Thanks for making fluppy! All the essentials are working great on my toshiba nb200 so far, the first successfull puppy!

A little problem that I've noticed. In the acpi-control i assume the brightness tab is to set the screen brightness associated with each cpu mode. Only the one for powersave works though. (As in, I can't tell whether the cpu is doing its thing, or the fan. But I can tell the brightness isn't changing when changing cpu modes.)

Also the function keys for changing the volume don't work.

Not huge deals but maybe you know whats going on.

Just noticed the icon changers changes the icons on the desktop but not those in the menu. In either Icewm or openbox/rox._________________An expert is just a beginner with experience.

I haven't attempted hotkey support yet. You can try Xbindkeys from the Desktop menu, and see if it recognizes your hotkeys. My plan is to provide a set of scripts that you can use with Xbindkeys to get function keys to work.

can anyone help me. when i use the you2pup you tube downloader, i get a message "bad address "youtube.com".

should i download some other pet to get it to work?

thank you

You2Pup has been updated a few times over the past few months to deal with problems like this. You might have better luck reporting this issue on the You2Pup thread and if a fix gets released I'll update the version in Fluppy.

It will work in IceWM, you just need to re-apply the theme.

ROX-Menu is more complicated. The problem is that to generate the ROX menu, you have to create this massive directory structure with about a thousand files in it. Originally, to update the menu, I just wiped the whole tree every time and started fresh - and that worked great. But that creates a problem for users running in PUPMODE 13, since it takes about 10 extra minutes to save all the files during shutdown if the menu has been regenerated during the session.

So I rewrote the script to do updates only - which saves much faster. But that has problems too - AUFS doesn't like it very much, and the icons don't update.

Barry has his pet installer in Quirky write directly to the save file, bypassing the RAM layer. I tried this in Puppeee but got inconsistent results - sometimes installed pets wouldn't show up for a few minutes. I may revisit this idea though, both for pets and ROX-Menu.

Thanks Jemimah. 0-7 appears to be the range on the nb200.

So I can set the key code for vol up/down, but I don't know what action to set. Is there some program for setting the volume?
